On 22 August, the High court rejected Noel Clarke's claim that accusations against him by more than 20 women were false and part of a conspiracy. The writer, actor and producer of the Kidulthood trilogy sued the Guardian News & Media over seven articles and a podcast published between April 2021 and March 2022 in which women accused him of sexual misconduct. He was seeking £70 million in damages. In a high court judgment with a 220-page document, Mrs Justice Steyn rejected Clarke's claims, and ruled the newspaper had succeeded in both its defences: of truth and public interest. Nuala McGovern is joined by Katharine Viner, editor-in-chief of The Guardian, along with Lucy Osborne and Sirin Kale, the investigative journalists who uncovered the story. Finding the perfect bra can be quite difficult at the best of times but what about after breast cancer? A study by Portsmouth Hospital and the university is looking at how to develop better bras to cope with changes after cancer surgery and radiotherapy. Associate Professor Edward St John is a breast surgeon at the hospital and an academic at the university. He joins Nuala along with Celeste Ingram, a patient taking part in the research. We've all heard of the fight or flight response in the face of danger, but there's also freeze, and then there's fawn, also known as people pleasing, or appeasing. Clinical psychologist Dr Ingrid Clayton has written about this in her new book, Fawning - Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find our Way Back. Nuala spoke to Ingrid about her own teenage experiences that made her want to help others overcome this form of trauma response and what fawning looks like in practice.The Irish comedian Emma Doran is about to tour Ireland and the UK with a new stand up show, Emmaculate, and it's her third and biggest one yet, with new dates being added just this week. If you haven't caught Emma on stage you might know her from social media where her caustic takes on parenthood or schoolyard and workplace politics have hundreds of thousands of followers. She's a mother of three and she's also written a book called Mad Isn't it? which tells the story of how she got unexpectedly pregnant at 18, and after a decade of young parenthood eventually found her way into comedy. Emma joins Nuala in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

She's one of Ireland's biggest comedians and now, she's officially an author! To celebrate the release of her book 'Mad, Isn't It?' Emma took us on a whistlestop tour of her life from the rather interesting choice of first poster on her wall to life as a young Mam and a CHAOTIC story involving a frozen pizza. All we'll say is 'pizza volcano'.
Mad, Isn't It? is a hilarious and moving story about life, friendship, (young) motherhood and taking risks. Emma Doran joined Anton to chat about her new memoir.
Comedian Emma Doran has written a book Mad Isn't It? Which is her personal story about navigating the tricky terrain of teen life, becoming a mother when she was just 18 years old and those moments when things finally click into place.
Final Episode - with Comedian & now Author, Emma Doran. It's the final episode of the summer and the season.So to cheer us up I'm joined by one of the most successful irish comedians Emma Doran - who as it happens I booked 6 years ago for a brand launch I was leading so hang on to the end for all the reminiscing of a great night had. Emma has a new book “Mad isn't it” available on presale - a memoir in fact. At 18 just before 6th year Emma got pregnant on a trip to Courtown. What began as her sliding down the wall in complete fear at the sight of a pregnancy test has been a life of complete strength, hustle and courage. We talk about the promises she made to herself at 18, always working, always providing, always saving.And that moment 10 years on when she felt brave enough to do something for her, an open mic stand up night in temple bar. And now look at her - Mad isn't it. If there was a stretch marks episode to finish on - this is it. It's a life time of stretching into new versions of yourself, never staying limited by what life dealt you and as she wrote the book, acknowledging that even 21 years on from courttown, that there was still a lot of marks to heal.
